Make pubs GREAT again.

Pubs have always been more than just places to drink — they are part of our social fabric. Meeting friends at the local, sharing a pint, and talking face-to-face helps combat loneliness, reduce stress, and strengthen community ties. In an age where digital connections often replace real ones, the pub remains a space where people can laugh, share problems, and feel supported.

Studies show that social interaction is key to maintaining good mental health, and pubs provide an accessible, welcoming environment for it. Whether it’s catching up with a mate after work, joining in a pub quiz, or simply being surrounded by friendly faces, these everyday rituals contribute to resilience and wellbeing.

Making pubs affordable and accessible ensures that people from all walks of life can benefit from these vital social connections. Supporting our pubs is not just about protecting a tradition — it’s about protecting our communities and the mental health of the people who live in them.
